Stationary structure of relativistic superfluid neutron stars
We describe recent progress in the numerical study of the structure of rapidly rotating superfluid neutron star models in full general relativity. The superfluid neutron star is described by a model of two interpenetrating and interacting fluids, one representing the superfluid neutrons and the second consisting of the remaining charged particles (protons, electrons, muons). We consider general...
متن کاملRelativistic Superfluid Models for Rotating Neutron Stars
This article starts by providing an introductory overview of the theoretical mechanics of rotating neutron stars as developped to account for the frequency variations, and particularly the discontinuous glitches, observed in pulsars. The theory suggests, and the observations seem to confirm, that an essential role is played by the interaction between the solid crust and inner layers whose super...
متن کاملSuperfluid Neutron Stars
Neutrons stars are believed to contain in their interior superfluid neutrons and superconducting protons. This is suggested by nuclear physics calculations and by the very long relaxation time scales after ‘glitches’ (sudden increases of the neutron star angular velocity). Over the last years, we have been developing a formalism that can describe the relativistic hydrodynamics of mixtures of su...
متن کاملRelativistic mean field model for entrainment in general relativistic superfluid neutron stars
General relativistic superfluid neutron stars have a significantly more intricate dynamics than their ordinary fluid counterparts. Superfluidity allows different superfluid ~and superconducting! species of particles to have independent fluid flows, a consequence of which is that the fluid equations of motion contain as many fluid element velocities as superfluid species. Whenever the particles ...
متن کاملSuperfluid vortices in neutron stars
A microscopic, quantum mechanical model for neutron vortices in the crust of a neutron star is presented. After a brief introduction to the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, which form the basis for our calculations, we present results for density distributions, vortex core sizes and vortex energies, both for an isolated neutron vortex and for the case when the vortex core overlaps with a cylindr...
